Definitions
- the present invention relates to a safety arrangement to be used in a medicament delivery device according to the preamble of independent claim 1 and more particularly to a safety arrangement comprising a container holder arranged to receive a flange-retained syringe, cartridge or similar containers for delivery of a medicament via a needle.
- the present invention also relates to a medicament delivery device especially modified to comprise and cooperate with such a safety arrangement.
- Such a safety arrangement device can be implemented in medicament delivery systems, both manually operated and automatic, for administering therapeutic agents in the body of human or animal patients.
- the present invention is especially advantageous when applied to automatic injection devices, housing a container filled with a therapeutic agent, which, when operated, causes the container to move in a proximal direction towards a delivery site of the patient and a needle on the container to project out of the device housing to inject the therapeutic agent into a patient's body.
- This automatism is typically achieved by a mechanism, which, when triggered by an operator, automatically executes the delivery of the therapeutic agent to the patient.
- the present invention can be incorporated in injection devices intended for self-administration by patients, or for administration by untrained personnel, also known as auto-injection devices.
- injection devices intended for self-administration by patients, or for administration by untrained personnel, also known as auto-injection devices.
- auto-injection devices are expressly designed to overcome manipulation and safety difficulties associated with administration of a drug through a needle-based delivery device by unskilled operators.
- a medicament container with a medicament is placed in a container holder which is movably arranged in a shell.
- the medicament container has a flange at a distal end.
- the medicament container is typically held by container holder at its flange.
- the medicament container can be provided with an injection needle.
- it is paramount to prevent damage of the injection needle, such as deformation, and to avoid its accidental contact with contaminating objects or environment until use. Therefore, in order to preserve the mechanical functionality of the needle and its sterility, it is a common practice to provide a needle arrangement of such delivery devices with needle covers, also called needle shields.
- needle arrangements comprising a so-called rigid needle shield (RNS) which typically include a rigid outer component (e.g. molded in plastic material such as polypropylene), adapted for enabling easier handling and removal of the overall shield, in combination with a relatively flexible, softer inner component (e.g. made of an elastomer such as rubber) having good sealing properties are widespread.
- RNS rigid needle shield
- the outer component and the inner component of the shields are interconnected, so as to allow removal of the overall shield by an operator, for instance integrally with an external cap.
- the configuration is such that the abovementioned RNS generally have a diameter which is essentially the same as, or larger than, the diameter of a barrel of the medicament container. Owing to this, the containers are often exclusively held at their distal flanges to be held in the delivery devices and prevent their exit from a proximal opening of the delivery devices.
- medicament containers such as syringes, cartridges and similar remain prone to breakages, for several reasons e.g. during an injection procedure, due to the pressure applied by a plunger rod activated by a driving mechanism of the medicament delivery device; and/or because of tissue resistance during needle penetration and/or in case the medicament delivering devices wherein they are lodged are dropped and/or pre-existing micro cracks in the medicament container as is common.
- Containers are often generally made of glass, which is favourable mainly because it offers stability, easy sterilization and an inert environment ensuring no reaction with the loaded therapeutic agent.
- the invention deals with a safety arrangement, intended for use in a medicament delivery device, which comprises a container holder with a body section and a flange seat.
- a shell of the safety arrangement at least partially encloses the container holder, acting as a housing.
- the container holder is arranged to receive a container, such as a syringe or a cartridge or similar, which is preferably pre-filled with a therapeutic agent or medicament.
- the container comprises a longitudinal body, typically a barrel taking the form of a cylindrical tube, which at one end passes over into a distal flange and at an opposite end passes over into a proximal orifice via a shoulder.
- a needle can be mounted on or staked within the orifice of the container, for delivery of the therapeutic agent or medicament.
- a medicament delivery device integrating a safety arrangement preferably comprises a needle arrangement comprising a needle cover which is removably mounted on the needle and needle hub, by way of example a rigid needle shield as described above.
- a diameter of the needle cover may be at least substantially the same as, or larger than, a diameter of the longitudinal body of the container.
- substantially the same can include that there is a variation in the diameters which is not meaningful such as, e.g., in a range of about 0.1 mm or less, or in a range of 0.2 mm or less.
- the medicament delivery device may comprise a cap which engages or grips the needle arrangement so that removal of the cap from the device also achieves removal of the rigid needle shield to uncover the needle.
- the safety arrangement of the present invention can be itself a needle safety device (also referred to as NSD) or it can be part of such a needle safety device or autoinjector.
- the configuration of the safety arrangement is such that the container holder is arranged to receive the container such that the distal flange of the container contacts the flange seat of the container holder.
- the container holder is arranged in the shell such that the container holder is movable in a proximal direction in relation to the shell .
- proximal is used to refer to a portion, an extremity or a component of a safety arrangement - and, analogously, of a medicament delivery device incorporating such a safety arrangement - which is located closest to a medicament delivery site, when the safety arrangement is in use in connection with administering of such medicament to a patient.
- distal is used to refer to a portion, an extremity or a component of a safety arrangement - and, analogously, of a medicament delivery device incorporating such a safety arrangement - which is located furthest away from a medicament delivery site, when the safety arrangement is in use in connection with administering of such medicament to a patient.
- the longitudinal body of the container, the body section of the container holder and the shell around the container holder are coaxial .
- the container holder is movable, relative to the shell, along a common axis.
- the drawbacks affecting the prior art are overcome by providing the safety arrangement with a blocking element and with a corresponding blocking initiating structure.
- the blocking element is arranged between the shell and the container holder.
- the blocking initiating structure is arranged to repositioning the blocking element when the container holder moves in the proximal direction relative to the shell, e.g., upon initiation of an injection process which can automatically be triggered by a driving mechanism of a medicament delivery device, to prevent at least a portion of the container from leaving the shell when breaking.
- the container or the mentioned portions can be hindered from leaving the shell such that they can be held inside the system.
- particularly potentially harmful parts such as a part carrying the needle or parts contaminated with a substance such as a medicament or pathogens can be kept safe inside the system.
- the safety of the medical delivery device into which the safety arrangement is integrated can be increased.
- the forward movement of the container holder relative to the shell in the proximal direction can function to bring the needle to a position suitable for the execution of an injection and for subsequent medicament delivery.
- Such movement can be operatively connected to the activation of a driving mechanism of a medicament delivery device equipped with the safety arrangement according to the present invention.
- a driving mechanism of the medicament delivery device is arranged to forward a plunger rod into the body of the container when activated, exercising a corresponding pressure within the container and on the medicament therein stored. The medicament is thus injected to a body via the needle mounted on the proximal orifice of the container.
- the driving mechanism can be embodied for manual or semiautomatic and particularly for automatic forwarding of the plunger rod.
- the holder is brought from a first position to a second position.
- the first position can correspond to an inactive status, wherein the safety arrangement, or better the associated delivery device, is in a non-injecting configuration preferably covered by the shell.
- Such first position can, for instance, correspond to an extended state of a spring element which is arranged between the container holder and the shell. The force exerted by the spring pushes the container holder and the shell towards the first position, or more generally keeps them in such first position.
- the second position can correspond to an active or delivery status, wherein the safety arrangement, or the associated delivery device, is in an injecting configuration.
- the needle cover has preferably already been removed and the needle can be exposed to pierce the skin of a patient. In such second state, the spring element can be in a partially compressed state.
- the repositioning by the blocking initiating structure of the blocking element prevents the container and particularly the shoulder thereof from passing the blocking element in the proximal direction, in a way that:
- the needle arrangement such as a rigid needle shield, therefore preventing any adverse contact with the needle protection which may affect the integrity of the needle;
- the container or broken portions thereof are prevented from leaving the shell such that the safety of the device can be essentially increased.
- the blocking element is integral with the shell. Accordingly, the blocking initiating structure is made integral with the container holder, or with another part of the safety arrangement which moves relatively to the shell.
- the blocking element is integral with the container holder.
- the blocking initiating structure preferably is integral with the shell or with another component of the safety arrangement which moves relatively to the container holder.
- the term "being integral" in this connection can relate to a one-piece construction or to a fixed assembly of the various part or components.
- the blocking initiating structure or the blocking element preferably comprises a ramp along which the blocking element or the blocking initiating structure, respectively, travels when the container holder is moved in relation to the shell from the first position to the second position.
- one of the blocking initiating structure and the blocking element preferably comprises a ramp along which the other one of the blocking element and the blocking initiating structure travels when the container holder is moved in relation to the shell from the first position to the second position.
- the blocking element or the blocking initiating structure can preferably comprise a counter- ramp contacting the ramp of the blocking initiating structure or the blocking element, respectively, when the container holder is moved in relation to the shell from the first position to the second position.
- blocking element and blocking initiating structure cooperate to achieve a repositioning of the blocking element which, when the container holder and the shell are in the second position, excludes any possibility that the shoulder of the container may go past the blocking element in the proximal direction.
- the blocking element repositioning can happen by way of a movement of the blocking element radially towards a common central axis of the longitudinal body of the container, of the body section of the container holder and of the shell or, more generally, towards the needle.
- a further aspect of the present invention deals with a medicament delivery device incorporating a safety arrangement as described and further comprising a needle arrangement as well as a container as above introduced.

- the blocking element is arranged between the shell and the needle arrangement.
- the blocking initiating structure is arranged to reposition the blocking element towards the needle of the needle arrangement when the container holder is moved in the proximal direction in relation to the shell from a first position to a second position to prevent the container or at least a portion thereof from leaving the shell when breaking.
- the medicament delivery device according to the present invention may include a needle sleeve configured to be projectable, to cover the needle or generally the needle arrangement; and retractable, to expose the needle, depending on the situation.
- Such a needle sleeve is particularly designed to prevent, after injection, an accidental contact of the protruding needle by any person.
- the needle sleeve enables a so-called "safe mode".
- the projection or retraction of the needle sleeve is preferably activated by a dedicated driving mechanism which can cooperate with the safety arrangement of the present invention but is preferably not part thereof.
- the driving mechanism of the needle sleeve is preferably not coupled with the motion of the container, i.e. it is independent from the driving mechanism arranged to forward a plunger rod into the body of the container.
- a clearance is preferably provided between the blocking element and the needle arrangement when the container holder is in the first position in relation to the shell.
- a further clearance can be advantageously provided between the blocking element and the shoulder of the container when the container holder is in the second position in relation to the shell, with the blocking element already displaced to obstruct any potential passage of the container, and the container is undamaged.
- the blocking element Conversely, when the blocking element is displaced to obstruct the passage of the container but the container is damaged, it is envisaged that the blocking element comes to contact with the container's shoulder; to best avoid any ejection of container fragments.
- the blocking element contacts the shoulder of the container only when the container is damaged, whether with the container holder in the second position in relation to the shell or after injection, when the safe mode is activated.
- the blocking element is integral with the shell.
- the blocking element preferably is integral with the container holder.
- the needle arrangement comprises a needle cover removably mounted to the needle such that the needle is protected.
- a diameter of the needle cover preferably is at least substantially the same as a diameter of the body of the container.

- the needle arrangement can conveniently be handled without any obstruction by the blocking element.
- a clearance is provided between the blocking element and the shoulder of the container when the container holder is in the second position in relation to the shell and the container is undamaged. This can further improve an unhindered handling of the needle arrangement in use.
